DESCRIPTION:The multiscale\, interdisciplinary ‘FoodCult’ project aims
  to bring together history\, archaeology\, science and IT to explore the d
 iet and foodways in Early Modern Ireland (c. AD 1550—1650).​ As part o
 f the project\, multi-tissue\, multi-isotope analysis (ẟ13C\, ẟ15N\, 
 ẟ34S\, ẟ18O\, 87Sr/86Sr) is being applied to a variety of Early Modern
  individuals excavated from archaeological sites across Ireland\, allowing
  for discussions regarding the social and cultural meaning of food in thes
 e different contexts. This presentation will discuss the preliminary resul
 ts of these isotopic analyses\, as well as progress on various other aspec
 ts of the project\, including research into Irish household documents\, ar
 chaeobotanical\, zooarchaeological and artefactual evidence\, organic resi
 due analysis and experimental brewing of 16th century beer
